57litre Flex

[JazzieGurl]

Hi I'm looking at getting a new 57l fluval flex tank. Anyone had this tank before ?
Stocking I'm either thinking make betta or dwarf puffers?
Anyone have advice on either species?

I have had a betta. Here is my advice for them. No other males. You can have multiple females. You can put larger shrimp in. Some tetras you could put in there. Just long finned fish.

Both have a TON of personality! I’m personally a big fan of bettas. I’ve never kept pea puffers with other fish but I’ve never had issues keeping male or female bettas with other small tetras or bottom dwellers. You could consider a betta and 6 ember tetras or neon tetras. You might be able to get away with a betta and down Pygmy corydoras but it’s a little on the smaller side for them. Definitely don’t keep male bettas with other bettas! I’d be hesitant to put female bettas together in a tank that’s less than 20 gallons, it would need to be heavily planted! You also don’t want to try to set up sororities unless you have extra tanks to keep them in if/when it goes bad

I have dwarf puffers in my flex 57, started with 3, they spawned and now I have 5

Sorry about my above message. I meant no long finned fish.
